Review of Nutripure’s “The Essentials” Pack

Between temperature changes, fatigue, viruses, and microbes, our bodies have been put to the test in recent months. This is why 3bikes.fr once again knocked on Nutripure’s door. After a medical diagnosis and in agreement with the doctor, we therefore implemented a personalized action plan aimed at regaining spring fitness…

With the joy of winter viruses, stress and fatigue have also been added, all elements that offer fertile ground for microbes and infections. Thus, to prevent it from lasting and try to reverse the spiral before the beautiful cycling races arrive, a vitamin cure as a boost to the weakened immune system proved necessary.

Nutripure’s essentials are the foundations of health. These are supplements to help you understand and implement the basic principles for staying healthy: Sleep Better, Breathe Better, Think Better, Move Better, and Eat Better.

The pack we tested includes the most essential nutritional supplements to immediately lay the foundations of health and quickly feel the effects of a new lifestyle.

The objective of each supplement in the pack:

1. Multivitamins to avoid deficiencies
2. Magnesium to reduce fatigue and help you manage stress
3. Omega 3 to take care of your cardiovascular and brain health

MULTIVITAMINS TO COMBAT THE DECLINE IN NUTRITIONAL QUALITY AND SUPPLEMENT WHAT OUR DAILY DIET NO LONGER PROVIDES

A varied diet is essential for our health. Unfortunately, soils depleted by intensive agriculture reduce our nutrient intake. Our bodies tire faster. At the same time, our needs are increased by the hyperstimulation of the world around us. A daily intake of vitamins and minerals is necessary. Thanks to its excellent quality vitamins and minerals, multivitamins will act notably on your energy metabolism, on your muscles and your bones. It has an antioxidant action on your body to fight against oxidative stress.

When you read the instructions carefully, each vegetable capsule contains 12 vitamins and 5 minerals, Quercetin, Lutein, Selenium, and CoEnzyme Q10. In this one-month course, we took 2 capsules every morning.

OMEGA 3 TO OPTIMIZE CARDIOVASCULAR AND CEREBRAL SYSTEMS

Omega 3s are essential fatty acids because our bodies cannot produce them. Even with a balanced diet, our Omega 3 intake is insufficient: at Nutripure, you will find an excellent source of Omega 3 for your body. The Omega 3 oil has been selected for its exceptional purity from Epax, the number 1 producer in terms of quality, respecting wildlife since the fish come from Friend of the Sea fishing areas. Small fatty fish are more interesting because they contain few pollutants, unlike large, long-lived fish, such as tuna, which are at the end of the food chain and concentrate waste (mercury, dioxins, pesticides).

According to the instructions, each capsule contains 1000 mg of fish oil, including 420 mg of EPA and 300 mg of DHA. We took 3 capsules with meals throughout the last month.

MAGNESIUM TO REDUCE PHYSICAL AND NERVOUS FATIGUE

The Magnesium Taurine B6 complex was designed by Nutripure to meet the magnesium needs of active people like us who cycle a lot. A quick reminder: magnesium plays a fundamental role in our metabolism. It helps reduce fatigue and helps maintain normal energy metabolism. Magnesium supports the functioning of the nervous system. Also, thanks to the presence of Glycine in the complex offered by Nutripure, which is another amino acid, our cells assimilate Nutripure’s magnesium even better. As for the presence of Vitamin B6; it also promotes the entry of magnesium into the cell. We thus obtain a very effective Magnesium complex here.

Each vegetable capsule contains 600 mg of Magnesium bisglycinate. And we took 2 capsules every evening. Even though Nutripure advises taking one at midday and another in the evening with a meal.

What are the benefits of this triptych?

More fragile than the rest of the year, our body needs more vitamins at the end of winter to regain our balance and also to limit the risk of infections. The idea here was to boost our body at the end of winter, to be in top shape in spring!

And yes… During winter, our body has been put to the test between the cold, fatigue, and the fact that our body has spent more energy to cope. During this season, supermarket fruits and vegetables have also become scarcer on the shelves. Those available are generally more expensive than the rest of the year, especially if consumed organically! The temptation is therefore great to skip fresh fruits, which are nevertheless essential in this season. The cold has also sometimes made us crave richer, more comforting dishes, which has contributed to lowering our recommended daily intake of vitamins.

My opinion

In summary, feeling tired or lacking energy is a common phenomenon, even more so when you’re pressed for time and coming out of winter. Thus, to combat this loss of tone, this small course is a real boost that helps us get back on our feet and regain Olympic form. Consuming these youth supplements therefore seems justified for many athletes. And for my part, I am also convinced of the effectiveness of these substances offered by Nutripure to maintain my health. But on condition that they are of quality. And the pack of food supplements that I was offered to try seems to meet my requirements. These are food supplements that truly contribute to my well-being and a return to great shape.

In summary, what I observed

• The sensation of being stronger
• A better mood
• Better regeneration after training. Less pain
• Better skin quality (less jaundiced)
• Better tissue quality in general
• Better healing, especially for chapped skin due to winter cold
• The impression of better immunity and improved mental health (less irritable)
• Better sleep
• A return to normal energy metabolism
• A return to normal muscle function as well (no more cramps or spasms)

Additional tips and tricks

I combined vitamin D with this winning triptych, which itself is associated with vitamin K in the complex offered by Nutripure. The two combined play a major role in bone health. Good to know: vitamin D is naturally synthesized by the skin during sun exposure. The winter period or office work lead to an insufficiency in our vitamin D synthesis, yet it is essential for the immune system and the muscular system. Vitamin K plays an essential role in blood coagulation. The form naturally produced by bacteria in the digestive tract is the K2 form. It plays an essential role in cardiovascular health.

The vitamin D + K2 MK7 complex is therefore the ideal supplement to combat the effects of aging on bone health, cardiovascular health, and ensure a good immune response, especially now after winter.

To conclude

We often hear it: it’s better to prioritize food over supplements. But ultimately, we still found real benefits in getting help from Nutripure with this pack. These three supplements indeed had significant therapeutic effects on us, deficient athletes.
